Great Inagua

Great Inagua is the southernmost district of the Bahamas. Its name, Inagua, comes from the Lucayan word for "small eastern island". As early as 1500, treasure-laden ships began to be destroyed on the island, and salt exports began during the 1600s while Spain ruled the island. In the 1950s, Morton Salt bought the saltworks on the island, and Morton became the main employer on the island. In 2010, Great Inagua had a population of 913 people.
